There is no charge for the workshop. Pre-registration is required by calling the Pequot Lakes Community Education office at 218-568-9200.

A light supper will be provided. Clock hours will be earned for participation in the session.

Find out how to provide age-appropriate early childhood activities through the use of movement and music teaching techniques. The workshop will look at the Minnesota Department of Education Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs). Participants will receive a copy of the indicators book.

Learn how to provide physical development, cognitive development and social-emotional development instruction through the use of movement and music based teaching strategies.

Participants will learn techniques to use for transitions, sensory awareness, self-regulation and social interaction. At the end of the presentations, participants will have time to share teaching strategies, ask questions and talk about working on a community wide early childhood focus — to prepare children for kindergarten success.
